Correct option is (D) IV

Given that (k, 2) lies in II quadrant and we know that any point in II quadrant has x-coordinate negative and y-coordinate positive.

\(\therefore k<0\)

\(\Rightarrow-k>0\)

\(\therefore(-k,-2)\) lies in IV quadrant.

\((\because\) Any point in IV quadrant has x-coordinate positive and y-coordinate negative and here \(-k>0\;\&\;-2<0)\)
